Once again another fabulous shoot with the lovely Russel, puppet theme, he scouted the perfect location, and his personality makes shooting a breeze he's a lovely guy, and they don't call him lighting man for a reason he showed me the shots before leaving and they are that good they barely need editing, can't recommend him enough!!

I had my first experience shooting with Russ today, it was a puppet themed shoot and I can't Express how much fun it was!

Russ was very professional and helpful in the shoot with a very creative eye and talent to get the best shot. I am so proud of the work we achieved today and can't thank or recommend him enough to any models wanting superb images!

I have had another shoot with russell today this time on location with a gothic theme, russ was organised with all the appropriate equipment including light reflectors to help bounce the light into the right place and did a great job to capture some stunning images even in harsh sunny conditions. If you want a respectful gentleman who has an eye for detail then this is the tog for you. He is always a pleasure to work with and I would recommend to models of all experience. Thanks russ!

I had the pleasure of working with Russell again after our first shoot several years ago. Russell is a lovely gent to work with. Well organised, prepared with ideas and mood boards. He came well equipped with lighting and arrived on time for the shoot. His pre comms were good and very detailed. All in all he is a joy to work with and I would recommend him to models of all abilities. Russ is open minded to try new things and always respectful. Thanks for a great shoot!

Lightingman is one of the most interesting photographers I have shot with. He had some very insightful stories and I feel like I had learnt so much from the time we worked together. Lightingman is so courteous and respectful of peoples homes, it was a delight to be in his company and he was very professional. Thanks so much!

I had the pleasure of doing some business with lightingman recently via the groups For Sale section. He paid instantly, informed me that the items had arrived safely and was genuinely a pleasure to deal with. Would recommend as a buyer 100%

Had my most recent shoot with Russ earlier this week, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve worked with Russ but somehow we make each shoot totally different from the last, this time especially, working on something new and exciting :)

Always the most fun shoots, Russ is lovely and great company while always working hard to get the perfect shot.

Very highly recommended of course.

See you soon xx

Had an awesome shoot with Russ and Anna in Beamish today. Despite the freezing cold and mildly overbearing actors, Russ was still exceptionally keen to get good results and used his kit to his advantage. Russ gave me really helpful guidance with my poses and despite the sunshine clashing with my very pale skin, he still managed to create brilliant images. I’d recommend Russ to anyone! Hoping to shoot with him again very very soon

It was great to meet, and work with Russ on Tuesday communication was fluent throughout from pre-shooting to Russ getting home who had travelled by train to shoot at my home and surrounding area. I had a wonderful afternoon, Russ is great company and I loved modelling for him, his direction is excellent and thanks for the tips too!!!! I would definitely recommend Russ to all models and really hope to work with him again, myself!!! 5 ⭐ from me

I recently had my first shoot with Russ at his home and what a fantastic gentleman he is!

He is such a warm, friendly professional and and absolute joy to meet and work with.

We went through different styles and levels and during each set Russ came up with creative ideas to shoot using a variety of lighting styles to mix the shoot up. I absolutely love the BOC shots and the images I have seen on here.

Russ really is a fantastic Photographer to meet and I highly recommend shooting with him if you get the opportunity to.

I recently had my second shoot with Russ, this time modelling with the lovely Anna. As before, he was an absolutely pleasure to work with and his hospitality was amazing! We worked with him in his beautiful spacious house and I was kept extremely well refreshed with coffee, biscuits and fruit. Russ is a great photographer and is considerate, respectful and great fun to work with. I would recommend him to any model and hope to work with him again.

Had a fab shoot with Russ the other day, I have said this before but no matter how many times I work with Russ we always do something different every time.

Today was an autumn fashion style shoot and then some shots at my home.

As always, a fun shoot, lots of laughs and really happy with the images too.

Thanks so much,

Had my most recent shoot with Russ last week. This time we did half location and the other half at my home.

Russ is one of the most kind, genuine photographers I have ever worked with and has become a good friend.

He always has tons of ideas and each time we shoot something different. He is so creative especially with lighting, Russ will always make sure to get the shot just right.

Total gentleman and over the moon with the images too.

Thanks so much, Amy x
